About Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is a general term that’s used to describe the process of treating mental health, emotional distress, and some psychiatric disorders through talking -- not drugs.
A psychotherapy session is not like a routine office visit to your family doctor; here, you will take an active role in your own treatment. During sessions, I may use a variety of methods to address your concerns or issues; you'll be given homework to work on between appointments.
Psychotherapy often focuses on unpleasant aspects of your life. At times you may experience uncomfortable feelings including sadness, anger or frustration - but successful treatment often leads to significant reductions in emotional distress, better relationships, and solutions to specific problems.
I will see you in person, or if you prefer, virtually. All out-of-office sessions are conducted via a HIPAA-compliant telepsychology platform.
My practice is limited to private pay patients. However, if you have insurance coverage and your carrier reimburses you for seeing non-network providers, then we will give you an invoice ("superbill") to submit to their billing office which verifies you paid fees out of pocket. Similarly, if you have a flexible spending account [FSA] or health savings account [HSA], we will give you the necessary paperwork to submit and/or to keep for your records.
Also, per the federal law, No Surprises Act , you will be given a "good faith estimate" [GFE] of my charges. (For more information, please click on the Forms tab above.)
